Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes, not isomers. Isotopes of an element share the same atomic number but have different atomic masses due to the varying neutron count. Isomers, on the other hand, refer to different compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures or arrangements of atoms.

Is it true that atoms with the same number of protons but diffrent numbers of neutrons are called isomers?

Not isomers, Isotopes


Element francium has how many protons and neutrons?

Francium has 87 protons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope and francium has approx. 40 isotopes and isomers. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 87


Atom does not have to have equal numbers of protons and?

neutrons in order to be stable. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the stability of the nucleus is influenced by the balance of protons and neutrons. Isotopes can have different numbers of neutrons while maintaining the same number of protons.


Do atoms have different numbers of protons and neutrons?

yes


What are the differences between isotopes isomers and ions?

An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Isotopes have the same amount of protons and electrons but have a different number of neutrons. The less neutrons the lighter the isotope, the more neutrons, the heavier the isotope. An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons. Ions have more or less electrons than protons and have a normal amount of neutrons. The more an atom has the more negative it is, the less the more positive it is.


What are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?

Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".


In what way do these atoms corresponds and in what way do they differin terms of their mass numbers?

Atoms correspond in that they are all made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, they differ in their mass numbers, which is the sum of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements have different mass numbers due to varying numbers of protons and neutrons.


Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?

No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.


What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?

Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.


What is an isotone?

An isotone is a group of atomic nuclei that have the same neutron number but different atomic numbers. This means isotones have the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons. Isotones are different from isotopes, which have the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons.
